Userinputservice or context action service is what u can use

Yea I know about that stuff. I just dont know How I’d actually get the player to move.

You can get the player to move by instancing a “BodyVelocity” into their character. I most people put it in the HumanoidRootPart. Then changing the MaxForce and Velocity. The direction is done by the Velocity, which you will need to calculate.

11

Yup im trying that tell me if you think its going good so far, what should I change.
Also how would I have it respond to me pressing W twice, and not just once.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local UIP = game:GetService("UserInputService")



local Debounce = false

UIP.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, IsTyping)
	if IsTyping then return end 
	if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.w then
		   if not Debounce then Debounce = true
			wait(1)
			Debounce = false
		else
			Character.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity = Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 50
		end
	end
end)

I’m fairly new to scripting so what you described above is a bit complicated for me, Mind helping me out with that?

You could use tick() to respond to pressing W twice.
Example:

  • One tick() as a variable outside the function
    local var = tick()
  • Another one checking like this Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.w and tick() - var < 0.175 I find 0.175 somewhat of a good intermission.

Use a value that is set to true upon clicking and then after 1 second set it to false if the variable is true when clicking then the plsyer had already clicked the button before and by that you can detect double click. Then just make it’s walk speed higher and then set it back to normal or make a function that moves the player to a certain direction in relation to the characters heading and then call the function upon double click

Nothing happens, I dont get it lol. according to what I searched online Tick() checks time in second between it and something?

Here’s something I found that could help you out with that I guess: Link

I followed that tutorial and got this

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local UIP = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local LastTime = tick()


local Debounce = false

UIP.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, IsTyping)
	if IsTyping then return end 
	if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then 
		local now = tick() 
		local difference = (now - LastTime)
		if difference <= 1 then
		   if not Debounce then Debounce = true
			wait(1)
			Debounce = false
		else
			Character.HumanoidRootPart.Velocity = Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector * 200
		end
	end
	end
	end)

no errors, bt still not working. This is in a local script btw.
u see any issues?

21

Try this one

local t = 0
local dif = tick() - t
UIP.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, IsTyping) 
	if not IsTyping then
		if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then  
			dif = tick() - t

			if dif < 1 then  -- Tapped twice under one second
				print("Test")  -- Prints "Test" if tapped twice under a second
				t = 0
				return 
			end 

			t = tick()
		end
	end
end)

I just tried it out and it worked great! TY
Do you know what I’d have to do to have it also work like backwards, left , and right.
With DD, AA, and SS of course.

I know we’d change i.Position = (root.CFrame*Vector3.new(0,0,-Dash_Normal))
and Input, but idk how to make it a seperate one for each.

How do you make it not glitch you and fling you when you dash into a wall?
